    New Graphics card required

    I would like to spend between £75 - £100 and maybe up to about 125 at a stretch. Mobo is 650i chipset and there's enough space in my case to fit any of the new cards in. I've been out of touch of the scene for so long I have no idea what I should buy as there's loads of new cards for about...

    Can a dodgy mobo cause randomly high cpu usage?

    Let me paint a picture of the "symptons" I have spotted so far for this problem that has stumped me so far. 3 hdd's slowly died on me so far, after some testing I guessed it was the PSU and have no replaced the PSU and got a brand new HDD. I now have a new hdd and a new psu and I eventually...

    If anyone is interested in an update: I requested my MAC code but didn't order anything from Virgin. BE appear to have actually fixed my problem, 30 ping solid all day today and yesterday. I'm actually happy! :) My route has changed completly

    Goodbye BeThere! Where shall I go? :(

    Every day between around 5pm and 1:30am my ping goes from the usual 25/30 to 110/120 and it causes a large amount of grief for me. What would people say to Virgin 20mb offer? Contract however is the only negative for me I can see, not heard any bad things yet :D

    Goodbye BeThere! Where shall I go? :(

    After 2 months worth of problem I have decided to leave BeThere due to having a 120 ping every day, which somewhat affects my "hardcore" gaming habbits :) I have been doing some looking around on the UK isp "ratings" pages and am stuck as to who to go to, ADSL24, 02 have caught me eye so far...

    COD 4 - Whats the cheapest it goes for?

    COD World at War is the name of the next COD to be released (AKA COD5) and isn't out yet. I would say COD4 is worth getting, I play it quite a lot, its the only game for a long time that has made me think about giving up my beloved mohaa :)

    COD2/4 Problem..

    I tried disabling my network adapter and it didn't work :( I am pretty sure its not a hardware issue, because it does not lag the pc out. It just sits there using 14mb of memory and 0% cpu for 3/4 minutes. I can sit here typing this while its doing it. I think I will try some driver re...
